Red Oak is a large, deciduous shade tree valued for its rapid growth and stunning foliage. Mature trees reach 60-80 feet tall with a broad, rounded crown featuring deeply lobed leaves that turn vibrant red and crimson in fall. This hardy native species thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil and adapts well to various growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for landscapes. Red Oak provides excellent shade within 4-6+ hours of sunlight. Its dense canopy and striking seasonal colors make it a preferred ornamental shade tree, though it requires monitoring for common pests like gypsy moths and oak borers.
